A Feudal History
In the early Middle Ages, Albuzzano belonged to the lower countryside of Pavia and the territory was feudalized to the Basilica of the Most Holy Savior of Pavia. In the 14th century, it became a lordship of the Beccaria of Pavia, while in 1431 it passed to the Barbiano of Belgioioso. Later, in the 18th century, the small villages of Alperolo and Torre d'Astari were also incorporated, which previously did not belong to the fief of Albuzzano. Subsequently, in 1872, the municipality of Barona was also merged with Albuzzano, becoming a larger town.
